Bondi Beach, NSW Daily Water Report — September 4, 2026

Today at Bondi Beach, conditions are looking pretty inviting for a variety of water activities, with diving taking the crown at a stellar 9.3 out of 10.

Surfing enthusiasts will find the waves manageable and consistent, with heights averaging 0.72 meters and a period of 8.3 seconds. The swell is coming in from the south-southeast at 0.48 meters, providing decent rideable conditions that earn surfing a solid 7.7. It's a good day to catch some waves, though not the most dramatic surf Bondi has seen. Fishing scores a respectable 7.7, thanks to favorable solunar periods in the early morning and late afternoon, though the lack of tide data might keep things interesting. Kayakers should enjoy the day as well, despite a slightly lower score of 6.8, due to the manageable wave and current conditions. Compared to recent days, diving remains consistently high, while fishing has seen a nice uptick from yesterday's 6.3. The pressure is gently falling from a high of 1021.8 hPa, but no rain is forecasted, keeping the day dry and perfect for outdoor activities. Looking ahead, temperatures are set to rise sharply tomorrow, reaching a peak of 31.4°C, with slightly stronger winds. The following days will see a cooling trend with increased chances of rain and rising wave heights, particularly from September 7th onward. For now, today's best bet is to dive into the clear, inviting waters while conditions are at their prime.
